Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὅπου, ‘*where,” as in Mk 24, is seen in P Oxy I. 7613 (Α.Ὁ. 179) ὅπου σὺν To ἀνδρὶ καταμένω, ‘where | live with my husband,” in P Lond 8545 (i/ii A.D.) (=III. p. 206), an interesting account of a journey—els Λιβύην ὅπου "Αμμων πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις χρησμῳδεῖ, “to Libya, where Ammon sings oracles to all men,’’ and in the question to an oracle P Oxy XII. 1477? (iii/iv A.D.) εἶ μένω ὅπου ὑπάγω ; ‘shall I remain where I am going?’’ For the meaning “ whither” (ὅποι is not found in the NT), as in Jn 74, see Ost 11628 (Rom.) ὅπου @éAe.—with reference to the sending of certain measures of wheat. Ὅπου ἄν (éav) = ‘‘ wheresoever,’’ as in Mk 98, may be illustrated from P Eleph 1° (B.C. 311-10) (= Selections, p. 2) εἶναι δὲ ἡμᾶς κατὰ ταὐτὸ (cf. Ac 14) ὅπου ἂν δοκῆι ἄριστον εἶναι, “‘and that we shall live together wherever may seem best,” P Oxy XIV. 16397° (B.C. 73 or 442) ὅπου ἂν τῶι καθόλου περιπίπτῃς ἡμῖν, ‘Sin any place whatsoever where you may encounter us”’ (Edd.), and 20. IIT. 484°° (A.D. 138) ὅπου ἐὰν ὁ κράτιστος ἡγεμὼν Αὐίδιος Ἡλιόδωρος ἐπ᾽ ἀγαθῷ τὸν νόμον Siadoγίζηται, ‘‘ wherever his highness the praefect Avidius Heliodorus holds his auspicious court for the nome,” (Edd.) ; and = ‘‘ whithersoever,”” as in Lk 95”, from 2. IV. 728" ’ , OTTTAVOMLAL (A.D. 142) μετενέγκαι ὅ[π]ου ἐὰν αἱρῆται, ‘transport it to any place that he may choose,” with reference to a crop that had been cut. With Jn 144 cf. Epict. iv. 7. 14 ὅπου ἂν ἀπέλθω, ἐκεῖ μοι καλῶς ἔσται (cited by Sharp, p. 89), and with 2 Pet 2! ‘‘ whereas,” cf. Aristeas 149 and see P Flor I. 6148 (A.D. 85) (as revised Chrest. II. p. 89) οὐχ ὅπου διαλογισμοὶ kal ἡγεμόνες παραγενόμενοι. The use of the relative ady. ὅπου (ὁποῦ, ποῦ) for the ordinary relative in MGr is illustrated by Thumb Handbook p. 93, e.g. ὃ ἄθρωπος (δ)ποῦ ἦρθε, “the man who came.
